At the risk of tempting fate here, I did a little reflecting on what feels to be working well so far this year for me. 1. My current workout schedule In late fall 2025, I revamped my workout schedule (posted specifics here). The biggest change was switching from a 5x(!)/week gym strength split to a… Continue reading Some things that are working (so far) in 2026
Happy December!!!!!! GOSH I can't believe we are in Month 12 of 12 already, but here we are. I don't mean to overdo it here with the workout content lately, but I'm still feeling really excited and happy and optimistic with this new schedule and cadence. And luckily (or unluckily) for you, you usually get… Continue reading My actual December 2025 workouts + new month/new tracking method!
A few weeks ago I posted about my current workout woes. You all so kindly helped me realize that my 'ideal workout plan' (5 strength/ 3 cardio/ 1 yoga) was probably a bit unrealistic for this current stage and season of my life. Given the time constraints of my schedule, this plan meant I was… Continue reading Workouts update: I think this version might stick?
Realizing now yesterday's post was probably a bit hasty, as I quickly pounded it out and hit publish without editing. Looking back, it's a little all over the place and dramatic and also sort of angsty sounding. ha. Ah, well. First, thanks to those who wrote supportive comments. 💗 You are all correct. I am… Continue reading More information
Ugh, my workout consistency has been fairly terrible...and not really short term, either. This is now officially an ongoing problem that waxes and wanes. Yes, it's true that I exercise regularly. But I just so rarely hit all of my target workouts anymore, or even all of my planned strength workouts. Back from 2015-2020, I… Continue reading More workout woes…
I have settled into what feels like a really good, happy place right now with my workouts. I'm not doing anything drastically different than usual, but my routine needed some tweaking. After some bouncing around, I feel like I've found something that really works. What wasn't working: -Being very inconsistent with cardio, despite my goal… Continue reading Workout wins + making it easy
Thanks for the commiseration the other day! 🙂 As is often the way, as soon as I wrote all that, I actually had a good day and felt generally more upbeat, for some reason! Maybe our warm, spring-like weather this week is helping... I sat in a patio chair for 10 minutes yesterday on my… Continue reading A few switch-ups
I was laying in bed after taking Charlie out in the middle of the night (now that weather has been nicer and yard has thawed, we've been letting him run around in the backyard, and I think that unfortunately means he has maybe rediscovered the joys of rabbit poop? 😫), and I was thinking about… Continue reading March almost over for me and workout recap
I'm really thrilled with my new year's workouts so far! So far I have hit 100% of my planned strength workouts (have completed 13 so far this month) and I'm especially proud of my CARDIO efforts! I've completed 9, but best of all, it feels like it's finally becoming more of a routine habit. As… Continue reading Happy with progress + showing up
Okay, 3 days into my December Fitness challenge, and so far, so good. LOL! Let's hope I can at least stick with something for 3 days.... Sunday I just did an Emkfit Dance video on YouTube (~25 minutes) + a 5 minute abs workout on Bodi.com. I debated going to the gym, but I got… Continue reading So far, so good + 15!!
GRATEFUL KAE
